League Leadership

Bob Boehman

Position: League Director and Venues Committee

Bob has been mountain biking since 2000 after an impromptu trip to Denver Colorado when a friend suggested they rent bikes and go ride at Winter Park. It has been a passion ever since. Starting in 2010 he began racing as a Cat 2 rider and joined Team Adventures Recreation & Gear the following year and is currently still racing with the team. He is also an avid bike commuter riding to work year round. Bob has been a Teacher and Principal for twenty years now and began a club back in 2012 at his current school with the hope of someday having them participate in an Indiana NICA league. He began communicating with NICA around that time in hopes that someday students across the state would have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. In 2017 he began the Indiana Interscholastic MTB League to begin to give students the opportunity to compete and grow in the sport and to begin to build a base of riders, schools, and supporters of a potential NICA league. It was a successful four race series with a five race series planned for 2018.

With three young sons (10, 6, & 4) already taking to the sport, and the passion as an educator for kids, he is committed to helping grow a league in Indiana for a long time to come. He is very excited to continue to grow what has already been started so that all kids across the state have the opportunity to experience a lifelong healthy activity that can bring them joy of the great outdoors and give them an opportunity to connect with more people in life. He currently lives in Avon, Indiana with his wife Tina and four kids. He is a graduate of Indiana State University both in undergrad and masters programs.
